Summary of points from the article:
- It's the first of five such ships being built for Atlantic Container Lines
- The ship, he said, is 296 metres long and 37.6 metres wide, "about as big as we get coming into Halifax these days in the container ship range."
- It's a unique kind of ship in that it carries containers and roll-on, roll-off cargo. Things you can put wheels under, either that, or have wheels themselves, things that don't fit into containers
- Atlantic Star has the capacity for 3,800 six-metre containers and 1,307 vehicles
- It's only got 16 crew members
